    The bus driver & tour guide were very good. The accommodation was mostly good. There were a couple of places that were lacking in local flavor and were also booked by college sports teams. The meals organized by Back Roads weren't great. The meal at Lake Bled appeared to have been brought in as it was not up to the standard of the food on the menu. Our tour operator organized some excellent meals & they were some of the highlights of the trip.

    We travelled 4 times with BR before COVID. This recent trip was well under our expectations. 18 PAX in a smaller bus than usual. Too many KM. The destinations were mediocur compared to other trips. Some of the hotels were below standard. The open wine tasting was the highlight, it went down hill from there. On a positive note: Martina the tour guide was excellent. The driver (Sunushka-spelling?) was great too. They did an awesome job. Both friendly and helpful. Your team in Brisbane was not helpful at all with communication unclear and chaotic. If you would like me to send you the email transcript, let me know. Summary - we probably wont be booking or recomending a BR tour again. Thank you.
